Abandoned horses- how to help

Southeast Michigan is home to thousands of horses but many of them are losing their homes along with their owners. Real estate agents visiting foreclosed properties have found horses left behind that were turned loose to fend for themselves or worse, left in stalls and corrals. People riding on bridle trails in recreation areas report loose horses wandering the area. Horse owners report strange horses appearing at their barns or in their pastures looking for a handout.
